4 Fresh Red Dragon Fruit Live Vine Cuttings (Each 4 inches Long and Produces Red Flesh Pitaya Fruits)

When I first received them, I was doubtful. They took almost two weeks to arrive. Two of them were turning yellow and three of them were cut on both ends. Only one has a point. They arrived wrapped in a wet paper towel inside a damp paper bag. They were still wet, just looking stressed from being in a dark wet package for two weeks. I decided to pop them right in the soil in the pots I had prepared. A month went by, and they were still yellowish. I saw no signs of new growth. I wasn't hopeful. Then, suddenly at 7 weeks they all turned a healthy green, and I spotted a nodule forming on two of them that is now growing into a shoot. How cool is that! I have white flesh dragon fruit and people always asked me if I had red, so I was on a mission to find some. This was a great alternative after several failed attempts advertising to buy locally from other home gardeners. I can't wait for them to get bigger and fruit!

Arrived freshly cut and ready for transplanting, a few weeks after receiving plants are starting to root.

Growing very strong in my greenhouse so we will see this summer if it produces any fruit. So used to have over 150 bearing plants in sunny Ca. We will seen how hot Utah summers make it grow. Best protection in shipping all four here.

Arrived freshly cut, nice and green, clearly marked as to which side is ground. Allowed to callous over about a week in a cardboard shoebox before transplanting. 2nd Pic is about 4 days after planted. Will see how they root. Very happy with product, cuttings were very healthy and thick

Did not grow. The cuttings were so expensive. I should have just bought the plant from the nursery.

Received Mar. 22, '24. Cuttings looked sketchy and I was scared to try rooting them like that. So I made fresh cuts, removing all orange parts. Dried 2 weeks. Set in a jar with half inch of water. Waited for roots 2-3" long before potting. Fertilized a couple times. Now, June 5th is the last picture. They all have 8+ inches of new growth. Training up a fence post like I saw on videos from Grafting Dragon Fruit and Epic Gardening on YouTube, but without the square on top.

took awhile to root likely from my ignorance and letting them rot, once you figure it out they take off. this is ≈2 weeks worth of new growth shown.
